In contrast to conventional light sources, LED lamps are not only more efficient in consumption – they also save on electricity costs. Especially in the (pre-)Christmas season, when more strings of lights are hung, the difference in your wallet is noticeable. Especially if you leave your Christmas lights on for a long period of time or permanently. But which LED fairy lights are trending this winter? Below we will introduce you to ten different models that will make your home (inside and outside) shine.

What would be a more suitable motif for a string of lights in winter than a snowflake? This six meter long model consists of 40 small LEDs that emit a warm white light. The fairy lights have two different modes and are powered by batteries, so they do not require a power source.

This ten-meter-long LED light chain with eight lighting modes from Gimisgu is also suitable for the (pre-)Christmas season: It consists of 40 small icicles that stand next to each other in a row. The so-called freezing rain is waterproof and therefore suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

The disadvantage of Christmas motifs is that they are only used in winter. If you want to choose a model that will decorate the balcony or garden even in summer, a neutral design – like these plastic balls – is the better choice. The battery-operated chain measures ten meters.

This string of lights is only three meters long, but has a total of 126 LEDs – including decorative stars, Christmas trees, bells and deer. The model is particularly flexible and bendable, making it ideal for hanging in front of windows, doors or walls. Alternatively, there is also a Christmas-like string of lights with balls and stars.

This Moroccan string of lights offers more oriental Christmas lighting. It is six meters long, runs on batteries and has 40 silver-colored LED light balls. According to the manufacturer, this model is equally suitable for indoor and outdoor use – for example in the garden.

This chain of lights is also a nice decoration idea for the Christmas season: It consists of three gift boxes of 20, 14 and ten centimeters, which together make 48 warm white LEDs shine. The model is powered by electricity and is particularly effective near a Christmas tree.

This string of lights with 30 artificial candles will make every Christmas tree shine at Christmas. It is available in two different colors (ivory and red) and is intended to replace real candles. The model, which is over 20 meters long, is powered by electricity and, according to the manufacturer, is only suitable for indoor use.

Curtain up for this opulent fairy lights with 200 LEDs. The 20 meter long model has eight different modes (combination, light wave, sequential, glow, flash, fade, sparkle, continuous lighting) and is operated via a power supply, so it requires a power source nearby.

It exudes the right flair at Christmas time, but is also particularly good outdoors on warm summer evenings: This warm white solar LED light chain consists of 30 lanterns that are said to be 100 percent waterproof. The model is charged and operated via an integrated panel.

This LED light chain from Ralaxdays also creates an atmospheric atmosphere: It contains 20 balls (diameter approx. 6 cm) that are wrapped with cotton threads. This means they emit a warm white light. The model runs on batteries and is available in three different colors.
